Keystone Media Awards – Professional

The Keystone Media Awards reinforce excellence by individuals in the news media profession, by recognizing journalism that consistently provides relevance, integrity, and initiative in serving readers and audiences, and faithfully fulfills its First Amendment rights/responsibilities. Further, the Keystone Media Awards stimulate journalists to improve their craft and ultimately improve their community.

Entries in the 2020 Keystone Media Awards are currently being judged. 

We are  currently unable to predict when the Keystone Media Awards judging will be completed and when awards will be announced.  While the original deadline has come and gone, we are staying in contact with the judges – who are working journalists from Colorado – to encourage and support their completion.  We will update the Keystone Awards page when we have further information.  Thank you for your patience during these uncertain times.

Awards will be presented at the Keystone Media Awards Celebration on Saturday, May 30, 2020, in Harrisburg.

Plaques will be provided to all first-place winners in attendance at the awards banquet. All second-place and honorable mention winners will receive a certificate suitable for framing.  Following the banquet, certificates will be mailed to winners not in attendance.

Helpful Tip

Save entries throughout the year! To avoid the frantic rush during next year’s contest period, we recommend that you save your potential entries in a special file on your computer, or create a MyScrapbooks page through the BetterBNC website. Then when contest time rolls around, you simply search that file for your best work!
